Abstracts

EN

The medieval towns of Bardejov, Prešov, Sabinov and Veľký Šariš, which were situated in the northeast of the former Kingdom of Hungary (Šariš County) and which acquired their fundamental privileges in 1299 and 1320, have been given considerable attention in historiography to date. Nevertheless, a serious diversity of opinions still persists, accompanied by inconsistent terminology for some essential issues, particularly with regards to the extent of jurisdictional rights and the urban status of these settlements in the first century after the granting of their privileges. The aim of this study is, therefore, to arrive at clearer conclusions on the question of when the four towns were endowed with full judicial autonomy (i.e. an upper judiciary) and how to classify them at all in the fourteenth century.
